Schwenke would be perfect at #109. He's the only center i'm confident in becoming a good starter in the NFL. He fell further than I thought, probably just because of positional value, but he's a 10 year starter on the offensive line. We should draft him and go to a run first offense! :D

Wow, Eddie Lacy has injury problems, huh? Weird that there's no documented history of that. He tweaked a hammy at a bad time but wouldn't have missed games in the pros from that injury, most likely.

So basically we're making up that somehow Lacy has injury problems? That's cool. I like fudging medical histories as much as the next guy.

Seriously though, Lacy has no injury history of note and there's no reason at all to be concerned. He's significantly healther/less durability concerns than pretty much every other back in this class; low carries, no significant injuries that caused him to miss time, etc..

Maybe you guys should watch some more of his tape to get excited over this pick. Yes, the Alabama line was good. But know what else was good? Lacy's vision, his power and his ability to make people miss. He's a complete back. He's also faster than Bell or Ball and his speed is better than people think. Know who he's also faster then? Alfred Morris (amongst many other starting NFL running backs.)

Lacy is an amazing add for this team. He's what we've been missing on offense and was probably my favorite possible pick in the first, let alone the 2nd.

Datone Jones and Eddie Lacy add physicality and unique athleticism the Packers were missing last year. I'm in love with our first two picks!

Excited to see what we do in the 4th with guys like Jesse Williams, Barrett Jones, Quinton Patton, etc.. all still available.

He has an injury history....

But Lacy's injury history probably was the root cause why the entire league turned him down not once but twice in the draft.

Injuries limited Lacy to seven games as a high-school senior in 2008. After redshirting in 2009, he made it through the 2010 season intact before being affected by a turf toe injury down the stretch in 2011 and undergoing surgery in January 2012.

Last season, Lacy had an elbow injury and then a left hand injury that one personnel man said required the insertion of seven screws late in the year.

At the combine in February, Lacy couldn't work out because of pectoral and knee injuries. He also came up with a pulled hamstring that eliminated him from Alabama pro day March 13.

Finally, on April 11, Lacy ran a 40-yard dash (4.6 seconds) and performed drills, but became fatigued quickly and left some scouts looking for much more.

why in the world would the Packers make 2 trades with the 49ers to allow them to select their guys?!!!!?

I would rather trade within the division, because those threes teams do not scare me now, or in the future. To trade with the 49ers, a team we have struggled with! ugh! It's like trading back with the Giants.

lol. we're trading back because TT thinks it's the best thing to do for the packers - not the 49ers. i'd guess we're more concerned about what we do in this draft than what other teams are doing.

hurting your own team to try an hinder another team is just stupid. if they didn't trade with us they just would've traded with someone else.

With how many draft picks we have i'd love it if we could draft Lawrence Okoye. Never played the game before but he's a freak athlete that has the potential to be a really good player. He'd be a good fit a DE in our defense. Having so many picks allows us to take more of those type of risks.

Good point Super.
But here's a question I have: We usually only have 2 DL on the field (right or wrong, which I think is wrong).... and we already have Raji, Pickett, Neal... plus picked Worthy & Daniels last year, have CJ Wilson already. And used our 1st pick on another in Datone Jones.

I just don't know if there's room for anyone else.... and that's despite the fact that I think Wilson is just a guy, and I think Worthy should redshirt this whole year off the ACL.
And he sucked anyway last year, was a huge disappointment. Looked slow. And lazy. I misfire pick, which I also would have made so I am not criticizing TT as I was 100% on board with the pick.

Hope he works out because if he does it completely flips how defenses play against us. He was tough to bring down with a full head of steam in college. I'm not sure he'll have that luxury behind our OL. He's a power back in a ZBS now and the holes will be harder to find.
